Table grapes are subject to serious water loss and decay while making the long trip from the vine to dinner tables around the world.

Pads placed over the fruit packed in boxes are one way of ensuring that consumers get fresh, appealing fruits.

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 08:00:00 -0700
The lettuce cut and packaged for food service and salad mixes is an increasingly important component of the produce industry. Lettuce is highly perishable, and the cutting required in processing further shortens its shelf life. Packaging cut lettuce and other fresh produce in semipermeable plastic films extends shelf life via a technique called "modified-atmosphere packaging".
